Patent EP-0458187-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ZICHE VALENTINO
IPC: D02J1/00
Filed: 1991-05-16
Abstract: The invention discloses a continuous process for the nobilization of yarns dyed on cones, comprising a phase during which the yarn (10, 46) continuously runs through an essentailly cylindrical treatment chamber (9, 41) and at the same time a phase of letting into the treatment chamber a gasseous fluid under pressure through one or more openings (13), which create a turbulence movement of the fluid within said chamber. The device performing said process comprises a prismatic body (2) wherein there are a treatment chamber (9, 41) into which the gasseous fluid under pressure is forced to stream and a lid (7, 43) sliding over the treatment chamber, which is activated by mechanical, electrical or pneumatic means.

Abstract: A process is described for producing vegetable foodstuffs having low nitrate content, in particular from vegetables, the nitrate contents being reduced by suitable denitrifying microorganisms. To avoid the formation of toxic metabolic products during the reduction in nitrate, according to the invention the pH is increased with the aid of a preliminary culture which is then added to the vegetable foodstuff. For this purpose, products based on ascorbic acid are also added to the vegetable material.

Abstract: A wiping apparatus of a recording head of an ink jet recording apparatus which has a recording head (5) including an ink ejection portion (5A), a wiping member (12), and a rotation device (7, 27) for rotating the recording head and/or the wiping member (12) so that the wiping member (12) slides on the ink ejection portion (5A). The apparatus prevents the splash of ink caused when the wiping member (12) leaves the ink ejection portion (5A) by using one of the following technique: First, a wiping speed is decreased at the end of wiping; second, an angle between the wiping member (12) and the ink ejection portion (5A) is declined as the wiping proceeds; third, the first and second techniques are combined; and fourth, an approach amount of the wiping member (12) to the ink ejection portion (5A) is reduced at least just before the wiping member (12) leaves the ink ejection portion (5A). Using one of these technique enables the wiping member (12) to leave softly the ink ejection portion (5A) by weakening restoring force of the wiping member (12), thereby preventing the ink from splashing to the surroundings during the wiping operation.

Abstract: The improved process for producing a signature panel comprises the steps of forming on the writing surface of a panel substrate a printed graphic pattern that will change upon exposure to alcohols, organic solvents, bleaching agents and surfactants, and laminating the other surface of the panel substrate with a thermoplastic resin by extrusion or hot melt coating. According to this process, signature panels can be thermocompressed at comparatively low temperatures not only to roll mills of overprint cards using a polyvinyl chloride sheet as an oversheet base but also to card substrates such as PET sheets, metal sheets and glass sheets without causing any adverse effects on the graphic pattern printed on the writing surface of the panel which will change upon exposure to chemicals.

Abstract: The outputs (17-18) of a pair of intermittence devices (16) operated in phase with the driving shaft (6) for the clutch (4), generate equal movements, however in a 180 out-of-phase relation with each other. With the interposition of respective electromagnetic friction clutches (27-28), these outputs are connected to the driven disc of the clutch. The two clutch discs are normally interconnected by at least one respective dog (9-10). A control logic (22) connected to a generator of clock signals (K1-K2) in phase with the uniform motion and rest times of the outputs from the intermittence devices, commands the clutch to be opened and closed, when the friction clutch at the selected output is closed, and when the said output travels at the same speed as the input into the intermittence devices. The selected clutch is each time closed and opened in phase with the said clock signals, and when the output from the intermittence devices and the driven disc of the clutch are in the same condition of motion, or of rest.

Abstract: The process according to the invention, in which the heat from flue gases generated in a combustion chamber is utilised in a drier charged with the material to be dried, is characterised in that the flue gas-free vapours leaving the drier are recirculated to the drier and, upstream of the drier, heated indirectly by the flue gases leaving the combustion chamber to the temperature required for drying the material to be dried, a vapour part-stream being branched off from this circulation and taken to the combustion chamber. 
<??>The apparatus for carrying out the process provides that, from the cyclone or cyclones (12) used in such processes for precipitating the dry material, a pipe (13) for the vapours leads back to the drier (8), that a heat exchanger (7) for the indirect heating of the vapours by the flue gases leaving the combustion chamber (1) is arranged in the pipe (13), and that a line (6), branching off from the pipe (13) upstream of the heat exchanger (7) in the direction of flow and leading to the combustion chamber (1), is provided. This invention makes it possible, at low cost, to maintain lower pollutant emission limits than those hitherto prescribed, to improve the efficiency and at the same time to reduce the explosion risk.

Abstract: The present invention provides an actuator mechanism (10,100) for sequentially advancing and retracting a lancet needle (A,104) and includes a drive carriage (12,106) for advancing and retracting the lancet needle and a hinge structure (13,102) operatively connected to displace the drive carriage (12,106). The hinge structure (13,102) includes first (20,112) and second (22,114) coupled leaf members relatively pivotal between a first position thereof in which the drive carriage (12,106) is advanced to project and thrust the lancet needle (A,104) into a tissue penetration position, and the second pivotal position of the leaf members in which the drive carriage (12,106) is retracted to withdraw the lancet needle (A,104) from the penetration position. The leaf members can also be pivotal to a third position in which the drive carriage (12,106) is retracted prior to initiating the advancement so that the first position of the leaf members is pivotally intermediate between the second and third relative positions thereof. The drive carriage is thus advanced and thereafter retracted for thrusting and then withdrawing the lancet needle in continuous reversal motions thereof. The drive carriage is guided so that the advancement and retraction motions are along a highly accurate linear path.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for monitoring a variable in a system. Actual values of the variables are sensed to produce sensed values. An initial threshold is set below an initially sensed value by a predetermined difference. Thereafter, the threshold is selectively maintained constant and adjusted to follow below the sensed values by a difference which is a function of the sensed values if the sensed values remain constant or increase, with the threshold remaining constant if the sensed values decreases. The threshold is compared with the sensed values and an indication of an unsatisfactory quality is provided if the sensed values fall below the threshold.
